How sorry I was to hear that you and your husband do not feel able any longer to help us to bring concerts to Hutton le Hole. We realised with sadness that the time must come when you would have to make this decision; but we are very happy that you have been able to give us your services over so many years. Without your great assistance on the spot we could not possibly have continued to send singers and instrumentalists each year to your village; and now I am afraid that last September’s concert must, as you say, be regarded as the last.

It is a splendid record – twenty-five events over twenty years – and quite unlike anything else that the Council has been able to do anywhere in the country. I have always been encouraged by the success and enthusiasm that has attended these concerts, for which so much credit must be given to all the work done by you and Mr Burnley. We know what great joy you have had in this work, and what pleasure all this music has given to the local people from the surrounding districts. I send to both of you our warmest congratulations and gratitude and hope that you will enjoy many future years, not least in happy recollection of these pleasures.

Yours sincerely,

John Denison

Drama

Since the Hall was opened many amateur dramatic performances have been given by societies from the village and surrounding villages – too many to be recorded in this book.

In 1960 however the Scarborough College Dramatic Society gave an outstanding performance of Richard II on March 12th in aid of World Refugee Year.

The Society was invited to return to the village on February 25th 1961. Their production of Hamlet was a memorable event.

Programmes and press cuttings relating to the above and the concerts are contained within the original book.
